3. "FredEx," done up in the same font style as Federal Express, may be a reference to
former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Freddie Mitchell, who dubbed himself
"FredEx" for his supposed ability to deliver.

Panel 19. The dress the two women are holding has the Superman
logo on it, but I am unaware of any iteration of Supergirl or Superwoman ever wearing
such a dress. Page 5. Panel 1. Robyn
is drinking from a cup with the Batman logo on it.
Panel 5. That would appear to be Spider-Man standing behind Robyn.
Paul di Filippo, hereafter "PDF," says that this scene is an allusion to
a similar scene in the second Spider-Man film.

Panel 6. Moving left to right: Iron Man, a doorman, Batman (visible
through the door), Robyn, Warren Worthington (Angel of the X-Men) and the
Shadow. PDF adds that Iron Man, Batman, Warren Worthington, and the Shadow
are all millionaires and so belong in this posh lobby.

Page 6. Panel 1.
The construction crew in the upper left are: Magneto (magnetically levitating
the I-beam); the Human Torch (welding the I-beam); Stilt-Man
(handing boxes up to another member of the crew); and the Juggernaut, lifting
an I-beam.

The poster on the left of the panel, "Amazon Purple Healing Rays Walk-In
Clinic," is a reference to the purple ray which Wonder Woman invented to
heal injuries.

The poster to its right, "World Heavyweight Championship Bout: Palooka
vs. Murdock," is a reference to Ham Fisher's Joe Palooka and to "Battlin'
Jack" Murdock, the father of Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Marvel's Daredevil.

The plaque to its right reads "LexCorp Construction," a reference to the
company operated by Lex Luthor.

Walking on the sidewalk are Thor, Frankenstein's Monster, Dumb Bunny of
the Inferior Five (with
her back to the reader), Daredevil (leaning on the "Daily Bagel" newspaper
box), Mandrake the Magician
(though he could just as easily be Zatara or any of the many
other comic book magicians modeled on Mandrake), Dan Clowes' Lloyd Llewellyn
(who looks like Jim Valentino's Normalman),
what PDF says is Moebius' John Difool,
and the Guardian (crossing
the street). (I can't place the superhero flying over the Guardian).

PDF notes that the garbage men and the sign "Trashman Hauling" is a reference
to Spain's Trashman.

Page 10. Panel 2.
The figure on the Subliminal Kid's screen is Alfalfa and his dog Pete, from
the Little Rascals.

Panel 7. "Colonel Simonson's Frog Legs Original Recipe" may be
a reference to Thor
#366, in which Walt Simonson turned Thor into a frog.

Page 11. Panel 1.
The illustration on the cover of the "Colonel Simonson" carton is of
Walt Simonson.

Page 12. Panel 4. PDF says,
of the rings within rings, "the effect is intended to recall the similar
series of rings that appear at the end of a Warner Brothers' Looney Tune."

Page 13. Panels 2-5. The
robot "Rikby-2001" is a reference to Machine
Man, created by Jack Kirby (an anagram of "Rikby") and first appearing
in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Rikby-2001
is even drawn in Kirby-esque fasion in panel 4.

Page 15. Panel 2. That
is the Rumor (from Top 10, v1) speaking to Robyn's father.

Panel 5. Trust PDF to come up with this one: the figure in
bed with Phillipe is "a female version of the grotesque living puppet figure
into which the villain Abra Kadabra turned the Flash in the Silver Age Story
"The Plight of the Puppet Flash.""

Page 16. Panel 2.
That is R. Crumb's Mr.
Natural on the far left. I'm not sure who that is behind him. To the
right is the winged helmet of Thor. To the right of Smax is Marvel's Loki.
I'm not sure who that is behind Peregrine. On the far right of the panel
are Goscinny's Asterix
and Obelix.

Page 20. The grotesque statues
in the upper left are the Seven Deadly Sins lining the tunnel leading up
to the wizard Shazam in the Captain Marvel stories.
The name of the stadium, "Beck Memorial Stadium," is a reference to C.C.
Beck, the artist for the original Captain Marvel stories.

I don't know who the group in the lower left (to the left of Kemlo) is.
Above them are Marvels' Frightful Four (Medusa?, Wizard, Trapster, and Sandman
standing behind Irma Geddon). Behind the Frightful Four are the Badoon. In
the background, behind the Badoon, are (I think) the Blimp and Dumb Bunny
of DC's Inferior Five. In front and to the right of them are Marvel's Sinister
Six (Vulture, Mysterio, Kraven, Elektro, Dr. Octopus). Behind the Sinister
Six is Dr. Strange. In front of the Sinister Six are the original Brotherhood
of Evil Mutants (Mastermind, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Magneto, Toad). I
don't know who those two characters are behind the Brotherhood.

Page 21. Panel 4. PDF
says, "The Neopolis Capes are a variegated bunch of humans, robots, animal-people,
demons, etc. But the Sprawlburg Brawlers are all animated, bulked-out
empty uniforms, just like out of a Silver Age Weird Sports story."
